The heavy toll of Yangon’s brick factory toil
The article by Andre Malerba, published in Frontier, presents a poignant narrative of the lives of a family working in a brick factory on the outskirts of Yangon, Myanmar. U Naing Lin, his wife Ma Than Nwe, and their children live and work in the factory compound, trapped in a cycle of debt bondage. Despite the economic growth and construction boom in Yangon, the family earns meager wages and struggles with poverty, unable to afford basic necessities or education for their children. The story highlights the stark contrast between the new buildings of Yangon and the harsh realities of the laborers who contribute to its development. The family's life is marked by hard labor, debt, and the recent death of Naing Lin, who collapsed while working. The journalist reflects on his personal connection with the family, having met them during a photography project, and emphasizes the importance of telling their story despite the lack of international interest.
“We Had To Stop Facebook”: When Anti-Muslim Violence Goes Viral
The article discusses the challenges faced by Sri Lanka in dealing with hate speech on social media, particularly on Facebook. It highlights the efforts of Hattotuwa's think tank in researching and lobbying against online hate speech since 2013. Despite presenting their findings to Facebook and suggesting improvements, such as hiring more Sinhala-speaking content moderators, the company has been largely unresponsive. Civil society advocates and officials, including Perera and Wickrematunge, have also confronted Facebook representatives about these issues, but with little to no success. The article underscores the need for Facebook to apply its community standards more predictably and transparently, with a call for better regulation of the platform's content moderation practices in Sri Lanka.
Thai Soldier in Mass Shooting Had Business Clash With His Commander
The article discusses the issues within the Thai military hierarchy, highlighting the case where a sergeant major was involved in land deals with his commanding officer’s relatives. The family of the colonel denied any wrongdoing. The article quotes Anthony Davis, a defense analyst for the Jane's Group, who criticizes the Thai military's practices, suggesting that senior officers often exploit lower ranks and that conscripts serve as their servants. Davis points out the potential dangers in such a system where subordinates, who have access to weapons, are treated unfairly. The article also touches on the history of military coups in Thailand, noting the military's significant political influence, including the installation of the current prime minister, Prayuth Chan-ocha, through a coup in 2014 and the military-drafted constitution approved in 2017.
